After getting the nod from Easton, the agent called out, 156 million”
The crowd below suddenly erupted in excitement. No one expected the bidder on the third floor to raise the price by 300 thousand all at once
Sophia’s brows knitted sightly. May sitting beside her whispered anxiously Locks like the person on the third floor is really going head-to-head with us.”
Dort back down Sophia told the agent
After a round of heated bidding, Easton ended up taking the ruby for 2.3 million
May gave Sophia’s hand a reassuring pat “Forget it. The price is already way above what the ruby is actually worth. Even if we kept bidding, the other side would just keep pushing
Sophia looked a little disappointed, but she quickly bounced back. Yeah, it’s gotten way too expensive, and that person clearly wasn’t going to let it go. Well try again next time
After the auction wrapped up, May and Sophia headed out together
